Chapter 233

Back then, the Datong Fucheng government was determined to take action against the Tiefeng Sect, and Bian Jingru asked the Martial Arts University for help, hoping that the Martial Arts University could send two Martial Arts Masters to solve the 'Saber King' Gu Xianfeng.

But in the end, only Xu Jing came.

Although there were four Great Mages from the General Court of Justice setting up a formation on the perimeter, and two hundred soldiers from the Imperial Camp suppressing the formation, at the time, not many people had absolute certainty about whether they could kill Gu Xianfeng.

After all, this was a Martial Arts Master who also possessed the Cloud-Treading supernatural ability, capable of entering the blue sky and fleeing a thousand miles away.

As a result, in the end, Xu Jing killed Gu Xianfeng one-on-one!

Even if his supernatural ability just happened to restrain Gu Xianfeng, such a record was also very terrifying, proving that his combat power was definitely not comparable to ordinary Martial Arts Masters.

On the plaza, Xu Jing slapped Hao Yi's chest, and the suddenly surging black water instantly swallowed Hao Yi's protective strength.

Hao Yi's expression remained unchanged, and he quickly retreated.

But the saber he slashed at Xu Jing was stuck by the black water surging on the other party's body surface; even with Hao Yi's explosive power, he couldn't pull it out for a time.

He decisively chose to abandon the saber.

But the mass of black water in Xu Jing's palm also erupted with powerful suction, like a black hole, instantly swallowing the surrounding smoke and dust into it!

Hao Yi's retreating movement was blocked, and Xu Jing imprinted a palm on his chest, with black water covering his chest.

The next instant, the strength, flesh, and even his own life force in Hao Yi's body were swallowed at an extremely fast speed!

"Did you think you could defeat me by breaking through your realm on the spot?"

Xu Jing looked at Hao Yi with crazy eyes and laughed loudly.

Supernatural Ability—Black Water!

This was a supernatural ability that could swallow all things!

After successfully building the martial arts foundation, cultivating martial arts supernatural abilities, and stepping into the realm of a Master, for a martial artist to continue to become stronger, they need to continue to incorporate implants.

In the first stage of cultivation, in order to maintain balance and build the Dao foundation, all five types of implants can only be chosen from the lower three grades.

After becoming a Martial Arts Master, one enters the second stage of cultivation and can incorporate implants of the middle three grades.

This time, there is no need to combine according to the five elements; one only needs to find implants that fit according to their own Dao foundation, used to reinforce the Dao foundation, thereby cultivating new supernatural abilities.

Next, combining multiple supernatural abilities together to form a unique martial arts domain allows one to step into the realm of a Grandmaster.

Xu Jing not only possessed the Water Control supernatural ability but also the Black Water supernatural ability; he didn't become a Martial Arts Master in the last year or two, but had been prepared for a long time.

The Black Water supernatural ability can swallow all things, even including the supernatural abilities of others!

Xu Jing could use the Black Water supernatural ability to swallow supernatural abilities that fit his own Dao foundation, thereby directly skipping the long and difficult process of incorporating implants and then slowly cultivating them to integrate them into his own Dao foundation.

This was a shortcut, but the difficulty was equally great.

This was the reason Xu Jing and the provincial capital worked together to lay out a plan targeting the Tiefeng Sect.

Because the 'Saber King' Gu Xianfeng's Cloud-Treading supernatural ability fit his Dao foundation 【Frost Cloud Heaven】 very well; if he could swallow this Cloud-Treading supernatural ability, he would have a chance to impact the realm of a Grandmaster!

To achieve a Great Grandmaster, spending more than ten years slowly laying out a plan, assassinating a government official, or even destroying a great martial arts sect.

All of this was worth it!

When Xu Jing took Li Fei to break into the sect back then and fought Gu Xianfeng openly, he was weighing the other party's strength and also giving Gu Xianfeng an illusion: he had just entered the Master realm, and his combat power wasn't very high.

With such an illusion, plus the restraint of supernatural abilities, Xu Jing suddenly unleashed the Black Water supernatural ability at a critical moment, which was how he took down Gu Xianfeng in one fell swoop and successfully swallowed the other party's supernatural ability!

Every Martial Arts Master can be counted as a 'local lord' and is not easy to kill; like Gu Xianfeng, a Martial Arts Master who possesses the Cloud-Treading supernatural ability, even if they can't win, they can easily fly away, making them even harder to kill.

If it weren't for cooperating with the provincial capital and setting up a plan to use the power of the Datong Fucheng government, Xu Jing might not have had a chance to swallow this Cloud-Treading supernatural ability in his lifetime.

Now, Xu Jing has the Water Control supernatural ability and the Black Water supernatural ability, and has swallowed a Cloud-Treading supernatural ability, already possessing the possibility of impacting a Grandmaster!

But he still needed a turning point.

He needed to untie the knot in his heart that had been there for many years—Hao Yi.

That was why Shangguan Xiao was captured, and why there was this setup today.

Previously, with the Great Grandmaster Shi Caiming blocking the way, Xu Jing couldn't directly take action against Hao Yi, so he and the people from the provincial capital worked together to set up a plan targeting Shangguan Xiao, making Hao Yi voluntarily come to Datong Fucheng.

At this time, Hao Yi was stuck by Xu Jing using the Black Water supernatural ability; his supernatural ability didn't fit Xu Jing's 【Frost Cloud Heaven】 at all, so Xu Jing only intended to swallow his power and life.

Facing this sudden huge variable, Hao Yi still maintained his composure.

He immediately unleashed the Refining Objects supernatural ability to refine his own strength into earth-attribute, and then voluntarily threw it into this black water in front of his chest.

Although this supernatural ability could theoretically swallow all things, it was essentially a supernatural ability cultivated from a Dao foundation that was primarily water-attribute, and it still had to follow the principles of the five elements generating and overcoming each other.

Earth overcomes water; this law hadn't changed!

Therefore, in a situation of equal magnitude, the result of the Black Water supernatural ability swallowing earth-attribute things and swallowing things of other attributes was bound to be different.

Besides this, supernatural abilities might not have an upper limit, but people have an upper limit.

The Black Water supernatural ability can swallow all things, but that doesn't mean Xu Jing, who uses the Black Water supernatural ability, can also swallow all things.

Hao Yi chose to refine his own Heaven and Earth Furnace strength into earth-attribute Boundless Earth strength; the characteristic of this strength was that it was vigorous, thick, and continuous!

He chose to convert the quality of his strength into quantity, only seeking to fill Xu Jing's black water at the fastest speed.

In the situation of a sudden change, Hao Yi thought of the best response plan in just a single moment and executed it perfectly at the fastest speed.

Such combat talent was even more precious than a core-level transcendent ability!

Mediocre people can only exert 60% or even less than half of their own combat power, while geniuses can exert 100%.

And Hao Yi was the kind of peerless talent who could repeatedly exert super-level performance in desperate situations, turn the tide, and create miracles!

A person like him was born for battle!

In just one second, a massive amount of strength was voluntarily filled into this black water on his chest by Hao Yi.

Because he voluntarily filled in strength, the black water's swallowing of his flesh and life force was greatly reduced.

Very quickly, the suction coming from this black water also greatly weakened.

Hao Yi took the opportunity to break free and retreated to open up distance.

Pfft—

He suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and blood vessels in many places all over his body ruptured!

Just now, when he was exerting all his strength to fill his power into the black water in front of his chest, his defense of himself appeared lax, and he was seized by Xu Jing to be severely injured by the Water Control supernatural ability.

Hao Yi also had a core-level transcendent ability for healing, and at this time, he was exerting this ability with all his might to heal himself.

Xu Jing didn't give him time to heal slowly, instantly disappearing from where he was and stepping forward to rush over.

Hao Yi raised his hand, and the Heaven and Earth Furnace strength was refined into earth-attribute strength again, turning into invisible city walls to block in front of him.

Iron cavalry charges the pass, iron city blocks it.

But the next second, these city walls were swallowed by the black water, creating holes one after another, and Xu Jing passed through them.

He pointed at Hao Yi, and a large mass of cyan cloud gas appeared out of thin air, surrounding Hao Yi.

This was Gu Xianfeng's Cloud-Treading supernatural ability.

Coordinating with the Water Control supernatural ability, Xu Jing's control over these cloud gases was even stronger than Gu Xianfeng's!

It was just that he had only swallowed this supernatural ability not long ago and still needed a period of time to slowly adapt before he could exert the maximum power of this supernatural ability.

He used the Cloud-Treading supernatural ability at this time not to hurt Hao Yi, but just to create greater psychological pressure on the other party, making the other party even more desperate.

"How is it? Do you know the gap between us now?"

Xu Jing asked loudly while controlling the cloud gas to squeeze inward.

The next second, a great sun rose from the clouds and mist, evaporating all the cloud gas.

Xu Jing sneered, wrapped in black water, and slammed into it directly.

Boom boom boom boom—

Before Xu Jing could get close, the surrounding ground suddenly exploded, blowing up dust and huge rocks one after another.

These huge rocks were like small mountains, charging at Xu Jing from all directions, intending to squeeze him in between them.

Xu Jing put away the Black Water supernatural ability, froze these huge rocks with Dao Power, and then shattered them.

His Black Water supernatural ability had an upper limit; if it were used to swallow these things, it would be too much of a loss.

Hao Yi used this method to block Xu Jing's charge again.

Next, Xu Jing charged at Hao Yi again and again, attempting close combat, while Hao Yi used various means to block him and open up distance again.

"What, are you afraid?"

"Did you think you were the only one working hard all these years?"

"The gap between us has been constantly widening since more than thirty years ago!"

"Now you must—"

"LOOK! UP! TO! ME!"

As the last four words were spoken, Hao Yi's figure paused, and another mouthful of fresh blood was spat out.

Not only that, hundreds of wounds exploded on his body simultaneously, and fresh blood sprayed out from these wounds!

After the conversion of offensive and defensive momentum, Hao Yi had to guard against the Black Water supernatural ability, guard against the Water Control supernatural ability at all times, and also prevent Xu Jing from getting close.

Xu Jing was not a mediocre person after all, and his combat talent was also very high; he finally seized the opportunity to use the Water Control supernatural ability to give Hao Yi a severe injury!

Whoosh—

Xu Jing instantly appeared in front of Hao Yi, and a large mass of black water enveloped Hao Yi.

The next second, Hao Yi was covered by the black water.

"Die—"

Xu Jing's eyes were crazy.

At this time, if Hao Yi tried to repeat the same trick, trying to convert his strength into Boundless Earth strength as before, and then fill it into the black water, he would definitely die!

Because this mass of black water was large enough, Hao Yi's output in an instant had to be large enough too.

This was bound to lead to a decline in his defense of himself, thereby giving Xu Jing the opportunity to take advantage of the Water Control supernatural ability.

This time, Xu Jing would directly make all the blood vessels in Hao Yi's heart and brain rupture!

He was also a peerless talent back then, just slightly inferior to Hao Yi.

Hao Yi spent more than thirty years starting over, while he had always been working hard to move upward.

Even if his breakthrough was affected by the knot left by Hao Yi, his upward speed was far faster than Hao Yi's, who was starting over.

So today, more than thirty years later, he had truly left Hao Yi behind!

Even if Xu Jing had always been very clear about this fact in his heart, it wasn't until this moment, when he truly relied on his own strength to suppress Hao Yi, that his state of mind became unprecedentedly comfortable.

The haze that had existed in his heart for more than thirty years was swept away!

"After you die..."

Xu Jing was already prepared to say goodbye to Hao Yi.

But the next second, he fell into a boundless sea of blood!

With his realm, he almost instantly broke free from the sea of blood.

"Art technique?"

Xu Jing showed a look of doubt.

At this time, it was impossible for people from the General Court of Justice to take action against him.

The next second, he knew who had taken action against him.

Li Fei on the viewing platform was rushing toward this side, holding Yan Shijin with one hand!

Over the past thirty-seven years, Hao Yi had indeed been slowly widened the gap by Xu Jing.

But he also had something Xu Jing didn't have.

He had taken in a student.
